The PIAT (Projector, Infantry, Anti-Tank) had allegedly been dropped during Operation Market Garden but not used. At some point after the battle it was discovered by locals and handed into the Doorwerth Museum, west of Oosterbeek, and was subsequently gifted the the Airborne Assault Museum in the 1950s. <\/p>\n<p>The PIAT is in great shape, albeit deactivated, and it was a pleasure to take a look at a weapon which could be traced back to the battle. Thank you to Ramsay, Ben and Allen of the Airborne Assault Museum for allowing me to examine and film the PIAT, check out the museum&#8217;s website here &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paradata.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.paradata.org.uk\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like a &#8216;Bring Up the PIAT&#8217; shirt &#8211; you can order at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.historicalfirearms.info\/shop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.historicalfirearms.info\/shop<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Be sure to check out our accompanying article for this video here &#8211; <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/armourersbench.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/armourersbench.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you enjoy our work please consider supporting us via Patreon, TAB is a viewer supported channel and any help is very much appreciated!
